IBAT DublinArvostelua 

It is shameful that IBAT College continues to work with an agency like CI Ireland. I personally warned the college about how this agency pressures students to pay in full under the false promise of securing a slot, and then completely disappears without giving any updates. IBAT knows perfectly well how international students are being affected by these scams, yet they still choose to work with them. It shows they are not a serious or professional institution.

Signed up and received an email stating someone would get in contact with me within 48 hours around two weeks ago now. Haven’t received a thing. Don’t waste your time waiting with this crowd.

I want to give the college a 5-star review, even though I had to leave recently for personal reasons, and not all of my experiences with lecturers were satisfactory. However, one of the best parts of my time there was a class called Effective Communications. It was completely different from any other class I took. The lecturer brought real hands-on experience into every lesson — it wasn’t just talking about business, it was showing us how it’s done. From how to properly shake hands to delivering a killer elevator pitch, we learned all the important things nobody else talks about. We had passionate debates, real-world advice, and plenty of laughs. Everyone actually looked forward to that class. Like they say in Ireland — it wasn’t just learning, it was great craic.

Brendan McCann’s passionate concern for his students' development made a big impact on me, and it’s something I’ll always remember. Thank you.

Diploma in Bookkeeping and Payroll in just 14 weeks!... Class was over subscribed - was informed 21/22 students per class - duration 14 weeks
( extended to 16 weeks due to class size ) - 37 students to one lecturer - class time 6.30 - 9.30 pm class ran over until 10.20 pm - ran over again on the second week due to class size - unacceptable and unfair to students and lecturer. 11.03.25 - Feedback to IBAT and on several occasions - no engagement re feedback until 16.04.25 - highly unprofessional and disgraceful way to treat people.

This so called "ibat college" is very bad, once they want to trap you to enroll with them, they're polite once they have your money in the pocket, you become a number. Saw people sick needed to go to class they don't deal with that. They don't care about you. If you value your money, research in Google, do you believe when they hide the reviews on Google, I wouldn't. First day the guy of reception was very rude I went to ask about the number of class , he said you should read all your emails. And so on and on, I don't care about automatic answer you give in here. Your time for explanation has gone. I DO NOT CARE. Anyway students know each other what they deal in here. Don't waste your time and your money. I Don't gain anything with that. Just fell sorry for students that could be trapped by this. As I said I don't gain anything with that but whoever goes in there has a lot to lose !! Once you paid your money is gone !! No point complaining.

The school does not provide a student-friendly service. Once payment is received, the well-being of the student is not taken into consideration. In my case, I was sent the class schedule a week after classes had already started, and the school failed to acknowledge or correct my attendance, which had negative consequences for me.
As an international student we all know how important the attendance is for future renewal.

They lend you the books, it is difficult to keep them due to the rain in Dublin, they are not accessible with the final date of the TIE exam, they give you the date, which is not even an exam but a task, if you plan to enter, go read a book , doing research, and an article. They are strict with attendance, however I had to go home because no one gave us class. Which is bad because you pay and they don't.

I just received my award ! D - Distinction ! The online Psychology course I took was one of the best ! 3 reasons: 1. The content
Was 24 hours available on the site ! 2. Teacher Sarah Sinnamon was so organised and committed to her work - that one to teach us the basics of psychology ( not an easy task tough ! ) . 3. The content of the course is so useful , to us , nowadays , to the people around us ! Give it a try , you will be so happy you completed it ! And after this course you can continue reading the books that teacher Sarah recommends in her lectures . You will feel so close to the human heart and mind , just try ! Thank you
, Ibat College !

I had a great experience with the payroll and bookkeeping course. My teacher Elizabeth moles was amazing at explaining, helping, guiding and everything else. Very patient and just all around a great experience. I no doubt would return if Elizabeth was lecturing the advanced course.

I attended three online classes and that was enough to know it was a waste of time. Classes ended an hour earlier than scheduled. The teacher was just reading slides and yawning the whole class. It was a terrible experience. It was a waste of time and money. Youtube classes are free and way better than that.

My visa was refused in August 2022 and I have initiated a refund request of €6410 fee of first year tuition paid since November 2022 but nothing has come forth till now. They stopped replying my messages and their contact number will not go through again. Someone should please help me.

Scam...I enquired about a web design course online which I was quoted €4,100 from Pitman training which I would say is legit & would need 270 hrs. Apparently ibat can teach me web design in 30 hrs for €655.... Absolute scam.... How could someone expect to learn html, java script & css ...in 30 hrs... Must be genius teachers....avoid, diploma my backside

All the team is very kind and friendly, the course is very interesting, I found an International team, a very happy workplace.

Bookkeeper and payroll was horrible!!! I just learned about sage and I didn't learn about laws or procedures in payroll or bookkeeper.

The tutor was really nice and as helpful as they could be online but I thought I was signing up for a Deploma in Bookkeeping and Payroll but it felt more like how to conduct both on Sage and how to operate Sage not covering basics of Bookkeeping and Payroll very well..

I completed the part time post graduate MBA program and found the experience to be both enjoyable and rewarding. The facilities, location, staff and resources were all excellent.
Despite being apprehensive at first about returning to education, I settled in very quickly and really enjoyed my two years at IBAT.

I did a Project Management Course online. The course was very well taught with a great instructor who really knew his stuff. I have been able to implement some of the tools and techniques shown to me in my current role as an Engineer.

I completed my MBA at IBAT in October, 2019 and found it to be a worthwhile and rewarding experience. I was nervous in the beginning as every new student might be however, the admissions team provided a great overview of the timelines and answered many of my initial questions - they were always there in the beginning to ensure we all had the best start. Each of the MBA modules is very well structured, balanced and supported by a team of highly experienced industry and academic Lecturers. Management at IBAT were helpful, personable and always assisting students to rise to the challenge in completing an MBA. The library at IBAT is well stocked and found it really useful for peer referencing when completing each of the MBA module papers. Great student camaraderie over the course of the IBAT MBA program. Overall, I highly recommend IBAT to prospective students who are serious about learning more in a relaxed environment while working towards a professional degree certification.

I have studied twice at ibat college and have been very impressed both times. Excellent experience from when I initially enquired right through to the course delivery. Great place to study and they offer a wide variety of industry focused courses.
